While reading this book, I was on the train to Chengdu, leafing through the poems of eight lessons, and suddenly walked into one long tunnel after another. I closed my eyes and looked up, remembering Jiang's book catalogue: "Game first, taste second, sound third, texture fourth, mystery fifth, eroticism sixth, homesickness seventh and death eighth". Eight key words, the more you chew, the more interesting it is, which is a brand-new vision to interpret poetry.
"Subject matter is not limited, except poetry"-This book adds color to poetry in an embarrassing era.
1. Competition
Western literary theory tells the origin of poetry: one school of inspiration, one school of skills. The former is Bo and the latter is Yi.
Li Bai is an inspiration. With a wave of his hand, it is a poem of genius.
? Genius only needs a dark blue background, just like a bird omits a ladder. -Kuang Guotai
Du Fu is a craftsman, Valery: Inspiration is a beautiful misunderstanding.
The so-called epiphany is just an epiphany in terms of relative gradual understanding, and it is a moment of relaxation after more than ten days of hardship. God gave us the first sentence for free, and we must write the second sentence ourselves.
taste
Our knowledge of things comes from names, labels, colors, textures and forms of expression-Charles Spencer.
One of the characteristics of taste experience is that it often echoes our past.
Only those who love poetry are relaxed and irresponsible. Every time I read a poem, I feel that everything is allowed. Although poetry is sacred, it is essentially a kind of irreverent excitement. -Chiolang's tears and saints
The essence of poetry is lyricism, which always means the desire to write.
? The future comes from the cold shiver of the body, and the overturned vinegar bottle permeates the bones and muscles. The cook pushed open the door and saw dusk like a little girl, groping around with the tip of her tongue for the switch of the light.
3. Sound and text
Li Shangyin, Untitled: But the magic mountain is far away from me, and you are on that side, away from Wanfeng.
Wang Guowei: Rhyme is mostly used for ripples, and double tones are mostly used for celebrations.
In ancient times, M-letter words, such as ignorance, ignorance, obscurity and dream, were all related to the meaning of darkness. The rhythm, melody and tone of words all show that poetry is an auditory art.
4. Texture
Fourthly, texture is about the touch of poetry, which Weng Fanggang first proposed, but he didn't understand it very well. It's just that Jiang Weak Water had a little epiphany when he explained Lao Du's depression and quoted Lu's "Weeping Willows by the Roots". The key of texture is grammar and syntax.
Auerbach's Imitation Theory: Homer's world is static, but the characters in the Old Testament are turbulent. Epic writers use rich rhetoric, while biblical writers use short sentences.
5. Xuansi
Poetry can be thought of as advanced as Tao, but metaphysics can't. It is just a metaphor and can't achieve a perfect harmony. When analyzing Picasso's paintings of cows, Jiang Weishui talked about the creator's subtraction, the pursuit of essence and integration. Critics not only bring flesh and blood to life. Modern poetry is a synthesis of emotion and wisdom, feeling and meditation.
Rilke: Poetry is experience.
Eliot: Poetry is not to indulge emotions, but to escape them. Not to express individuality, but to escape individuality.
Qian Zhongshu's Notes on Art: It is not a rare metaphor, but a wonderful combination and condensation.
Bian Zhilin's "Organization in the Distance" "Friends bring snow at five o'clock."
Goethe: A poet needs the whole philosophy, but he must exclude it from his works. Eliot's "Quartet"
In the final analysis, there are two philosophies. One of them is to accept all the uncertainties, mysteries, doubts and little knowledge of life and experience, and then apply this experience to oneself, thus deepening and strengthening one's own nature-turning to imagination and art, which is the philosophy of Shakespeare and Keats. -Dewey's art is experience
Adorno: No lyric poem can praise this materialized world and make it meaningful again.
Give up "Looking at the Starry Sky in Hargil", Ouyang He Jiang's "Picasso Painting Cattle".
6.pornography
Erotic is different from eroticism, which appeals to instinct, but eroticism has risen to art, and eroticism in poetry is traditional, such as Zheng Feng and Feng Wei in the Book of Songs. Poetry is written to rebuild the beauty of poetry. As Shakespeare said, "Your beauty can only be imagined, pondered and recalled by future generations after my wonderful pen." Therefore, words have the ability to transcend time and space.
Erotic: a kind of sensibility, sexy sensibility.
Zhang Zao: Writing is not a representation, but a pursuit of reality, which needs to be replaced.
For language, the body is just a place of promise, just an enumeration.
7. Homesickness
Homesickness is a memory of the beautiful things that passed away, and it is also a compromise to the personal situation that is difficult to cope with at present. Etymologically speaking, poetry is the way to lead us home, and finally let us go home to rest. Poetry has the power to comfort people. The homesickness of poetry has remained basically unchanged for more than two thousand years, but in the 20th century, when there were problems in the countryside, worries came. ? Heidegger's interpretation: In today's era, people are deprived of the foundation of existence, innocence and the harmonious unity of subject and object. Split into unrelated parts. Humans are basically homeless.
The poet's duty is to go home. Only by returning to China can we prepare our hometown as a country close to the origin. -Heidegger's interpretation of Holdrin's poems
I will miss my hometown when I have time. -Mou Zongsan? Hometown: A Poetic Psychology
Modern homesickness is a lament that the mythical returning home cannot be realized, and that the charming world with clear boundaries and values has disappeared. -Boim's nostalgic future.
8. Death
Socrates: Metaphysical meditation is practicing death. No matter whether it is meditation or homesickness, the rest place is nothing more than death. Metaphysical meditation is practicing death. Life is just an inn, and it has been going home since birth.
Lu Xun's "Weeds", this kind of life is only half true, showing it to a limited and closed daily vision; The other half of truth is open to death. -Berdyaev is on a human mission
Our coast is very low. If death rises by two centimeters, I will be submerged. -Trondstrom
The spirit of poetry is to break through to existence and language in the dark of the world, and language is a prayer and call for the night and emptiness.
"This is the secret bypass of poetry, leading to one of the most intimate and considerate corners. People are dumbfounded, lost in thought and turn a blind eye to everything around them. "
